Abstract

Funder central deposit mandates (like NIH) do not scale They cannot systematically cover all of research output Not all research is funded But all research originates from a university or research institution Disciplines criss-cross research space, arbitrarily and redundantly Researchers have multiple funders, publish in multiple disciplines Institutions systematically cover all of research space, in all disciplines All OA repositories are interoperable Hence both funders and institutions should mandate institutional deposit Then the deposits can be harvested centrally wherever else desired DEPOSIT INSTITUTIONALLY HARVEST CENTRALLY
